We’re happy to announce the next theme in our “So You Think You Can Style?” contest series!
This time around, we’re looking for your best styles to fit our theme: Short & Sweet!
Whether it’s a sharp bob, a chic undercut or a stylish pompadour-inspired look, we want to see which of your best short looks makes a statement.
Remember, even though we love seeing the photos you submit from collections, this contest is all about variety. Feel free to submit looks taken in your chair, at home or in your salon’s “designated in-salon Instagram area“!
With the Contessas having just passed, we would also like to advise against re-entering photos that were already submitted for the 2018 Contessa Awards.
Now for some of the more technical details for those of you who may be first-time entrants…
You can read all of the official rules here but just so you’re familiar with the overall structure of the contest, there are two rounds of judging. We’ll be accepting entries starting today until Monday, December 18th, 2017. Feel free to reach out to us if you have any issues submitting your form or photo.
Once entries close, we move onto the first round of judging. Finalists are determined by popular vote. (You may use this opportunity to encourage family, friends, colleagues and those on social media to vote for your entry!) At the end of the voting period, the top 50% of entries that have received the majority of votes become our finalists, which move onto the second round of judging. This round includes a panel of judges at our offices that vote independently to therefore determine the first-, second- and third-place winners. The first-place winner will receive an online article, shout-outs on social media, a spot in our weekly newsletter and their winning work published in the next issue of Salon Magazine. In a nutshell, if our community doesn’t already know your name— they will after this!
Voting runs from December 20th, 2017 to January 10th, 2018. Finalists will be announced Thursday, January 11 and the winner will be announced the following Thursday, January 18.
So now that we have that all covered, time to get up and create! Click here to enter.
